Hi,
in Notepad++ there is this function if you double-click a word, all occurences of the same word are marked in green. In ST3, there is a similar function; if I double-click on a word in ST3, the other words are highlighted with a small border:
How could I change this highlightin behaviour? Because this small border is nearly invisible.
Hi @kingkeith, I know that package but is it really impossible without an additional package?
as far as I know, Sublime doesn’t have any built in settings to control the appearance of the highlights, which is why this package exists.
ST uses the caret color for match highlighting:
I wrote a post detailing the necessary changes for caret color & some other visibility related improvements.
I still recommend using WordHighlight, as it offers greatly improved functionality.
For example, in the image above, only exact whole-word matches for “string” are matched.
( I disabled WordHighlight for the screenshot )
Also, non-word matches are not highlighted.
( an option in WordHighlight, along with case sensitivity, foreground highlighting, and some others.)
Thank you @fico and @kingkeith.
I confused the suggested WordHighlight plugin with the plugin HighlightWords, which is not what I wand, but WordHighlight works just pretty well.
